Will the loan forgiveness be automatically applied to the amounts one still owes on their loans, as in there's no application process to get it to happen? My loans were federal and have been traded between several different loan servicers.

Also, I recieved 1 Pell Grant for a small amount back during the Great Recession. Most of my loans were not Pell Grants. Would I only get the 10,000 forgiveness plus enough to cover the Pell Grant portion, or does 1 small Pell Grant qualify you for the entire 20,000 (Or whatever you have left)?

I don't know about the second part, but for the first part I believe if you've been diligently filing your taxes and the have all your info on file... then the forgiveness should happen automatically.

1) If the DOE has your income information on file (you are on IBR, you filed out a FAFSA form in the last two years, you submitted your income/tax returns to the DOE for income verification or any other reason, etc.) then it will be automatic.

If not, then you have to go online and sign a form "affirming" that you did not make more than $125k/$250k in 2020 and 2021, put in your personal information, and submit it through there.

2) Yes, you should get $20k forgiven. All you need is to have received a Pell Grant at some point.

Sweet, thanks guys. This'll help quite a bit.

Question, I've seen that PAYE email about applying and seeing if it can lower my monthly rate. Can it raise how much you have to pay if you make a decent amount (Regardless of your current debt amounts)? Or will it just say "sorry, you don't qualify for a reduced rate"?
